I always see clips of baseball players arguing with a referee and then getting ejected, but I’ve never once seen a coach or player convince a referee they’re wrong.
Why bother? Surely you know that you’re not gonna change their mind and that you can get ejected pretty easily and that gotta be worse than stifling your ego for a moment just copping the decision.
I’m Australian and don’t really watch baseball so I apologise if any nomenclature is incorrect.

Gets in the umpires head a bit, sometimes if the team is playing poorly the manager will argue just so he can get ejected and hopefully fire up his players by showing that he’s got their backs.
It’s generally just arguing for the sake of arguing though, it doesn’t usually accomplish much. Just a way for the player or manager to let off some steam really.
